SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2018--
(NASDAQ:AMZN) – Amazon today announced that Cyber Monday was once again
the single biggest shopping day in the company’s history with more
products ordered worldwide than any other day. Additionally, the Turkey
5, those five popular shopping days starting with Thanksgiving and
continuing through Cyber Monday, broke records as customers in the U.S.
purchased millions more products over the five day period vs. the same
period last year. In fact, Amazon customers worldwide ordered more than
18 million toys and more than 13 million fashion items on Black Friday
and Cyber Monday, combined.

Sales by small and medium-sized businesses worldwide grew more than 20
percent on Black Friday year-over-year.

Throughout the Turkey 5, Amazon.com customers ordered more than 180
million items.

Prime members got into the Christmas spirit over the holiday
weekend—Christmas lights were a bestseller on Prime Now.

The best-selling products at Amazon 4-star and Amazon Books over the
Turkey 5 weekend included the all-new Echo Dot, Becoming by
Michelle Obama, the Amazon Smart Plug, and the L.O.L. Surprise Series
toys.

The best-selling products at Amazon Pop-Up device kiosks over the

Customers are keeping their homes safer this holiday season with
Amazon home security products—both Ring and Blink more than doubled
their sales on Amazon this year compared to the same period last year.

Fire TV continues to be the #1 streaming media player family in the
U.S., U.K., Germany, and Japan, across all retailers.

In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, Prime members saved millions
of dollars on deals at Whole Foods Market stores, including on turkeys.

For the second year in a row, Whole Foods Market broke its all-time
record of turkeys sold during the Thanksgiving season.

With convenience top of mind, more customers than ever before opted to
have their turkeys delivered this year with AmazonFresh and Prime Now,
and customers purchased hundreds of thousands of prepared holiday
meals at Whole Foods Market.

Last-minute ingredients for Thanksgiving meals were top of mind for
customers shopping Whole Foods Market through Prime Now – lemons,
celery, and onions were the bestselling items the day before
Thanksgiving.

Alexa helped customers prep and cook for their Thanksgiving
gatherings. Customers asked Alexa to set nearly twice as many timers
on Thanksgiving Day than any other day this year.

The most popular named timer for Alexa on Thanksgiving Day was
“turkey,” followed by “pie,” and “stuffing.”

Customers asked Alexa for nearly twice as many recipes and cooking
advice this Thanksgiving as they did last year.
